Hi, I think it is my first message to this list, so let me introduce myself. I am a physics professor with a hobby: building linux from scratch ;-) My primary contribution up to now has been mainly to help maintaining and updating the automatic building tool jhalfs. This is a very part time activity, so is compatible with my main job... Recently, William Harrington sent patches for the CLFS part of the jhalfs tool, which I committed, so I thought I should give a try to CLFS, for testing purpose, and also out of curiosity :-).
Today is my first (automated using jhalfs) build of CLFS-x86_64-64, using the chroot method. Right now, the eglibc tests are running. I encountered one difficulty, which is that when building util-linux (8.2) for the chroot method, "configure" finds pkg-config on the build host, wines about it not being prefixed with the target host triplet, but nevertheless uses it. So it finds libraries on the host, which are not usable later on during make... I got an error while linking "script-replay". I first tried to set PKG_CONFIG=true for configure (as is done in the "if you are going to boot" chapter), but got errors when linking more (something like the switch '-ltinfo' was missing). I then just set PKG_CONFIG= for configure, and it worked. As I am new to CLFS, I am maybe telling something trivial, which I should have addressed to clfs-support. If this is so, please forgive me. I hope it is of some help though...
